Justin Timberlake's songwriting chops will be honored next month. The pop star will receive the Contemporary Icon Award from the Songwriters Hall Of Fame on 6/13 at the organization's 50th annual induction ceremony in New York.
Timberlake is the second person to receive the honor; Lady Gaga earned it in 2015. The Songwriters Hall said the award is given to a "songwriter-artist who has attained an iconic status in pop culture."
Timberlake has co-written all of his solo hit songs, from "Cry Me A River" to "SexyBack" to "Can't Stop The Feeling!" -- which earned him an Oscar nomination. He also co-wrote songs for N'Sync, including "Gone," "Girlfriend," and "Pop."
The 2019 Songwriters Hall class includes Missy Elliott, Cat Stevens, John Prine, Tom T. Hall, Jack Tempchin, and Dallas Austin.
